thought I'd post some pics of my almost completed single speed build. Not knowing anything about push bike building, I started off with a $199 goldcross cycles flight branded single speed. The plan was to replace part by part until I had basically replaced the lot (whilst still being able to ride to work and back!)

After only having the bike for about 4 weeks, my plan was sped up when I was cleaned up by a car which bent the frame and rear wheel. Thankfully, that gave me the gentle nudge I needed to pull my thumb out and put this together:

I havent actually weight any components nor the whole bike yet. To me, its incredibly light - but I'm sure there are much lighter bikes out there... I'll pop her on the scales soon and see what it says. The front wheel is standard aerospoke weight (not light...) but the rear is very light, around 1080gms I think.
